Then you could also look upon them as attempts from Apple to make their
product better.  If they don't improve the Macintosh someone will
bring out a better 'Banana 6000' and most marketed applications will use
the new features, and thus the owners of Macs will have the choice: buy 
the 'Bananna 6000' or stick to the old software.
